Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Zovirax cream is commonly used to treat outbreaks of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It may also be used for other skin conditions where the virus is involved, such as genital herpes when prescribed by a healthcare provider. The cream works by slowing the growth and spread of the virus on the skin.

Side Effects

  • When applied as directed, Zovirax cream helps reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks. Users often notice a decrease in tingling, itching, and blistering within a few days of starting treatment. It does not cure the underlying infection but can shorten healing time.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Wash hands before and after applying Zovirax to avoid spreading the virus. Avoid touching eyes or mucous membranes while using the cream. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Keep the cream away from open wounds or broken skin.

Avoid Interactions

  • Zovirax topical cream has minimal systemic absorption, so interactions with other medications are unlikely. However, avoid using other topical treatments on the same area unless directed by a healthcare professional. No known interactions with alcohol or oral medications have been reported.
